Chinese Executive Programs

From our popular undergraduate exchange programs to our International MBA in Shanghai to our faculty’s long history of research in the country, the Sauder School of Business at UBC has a long tradition of excellence in China.

Canada’s Pacific gateway

With one of the largest and most well-established Chinese business communities in North America, Vancouver is the perfect location for business programs aimed at Chinese executives. Our links with the Vancouver business community, and its experience of and exposure to China, enables us to find cases studies, arrange site visits, attract guest speakers, and organize cultural activities.

A long history of working together

Since 1980, around 1,000 senior Chinese government officials and business executives from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fujian, Shenzhen, and other key cities and regions of China have benefited from our customized executive education programs.

Sauder offers a wide range of Chinese executive programs - with Mandarin translation and interpretation - for senior government and enterprise officials of China.

We work with each group to identify their specific training needs, and then design tailored programs for them. Programs range from one week to 12 months.

Our programs incorporate lectures and programs on key business topics at UBC’s Downtown Vancouver campus, Robson Square, as well as UBC’s main Point Grey campus, in addition to site visits and discussions with leading Canadian companies and government organizations.

"Over the past few years, we have sent 3 cohorts of over 40 participants to the International Leadership Development Program. Our participants have returned to China with new skills and tools, fresh perspectives and approaches to problem solving, and more confidence in the way they present themselves and their ideas. They are not afraid to challenge the status-quo and are able to share their learnings from the overseas experience, and valuable insights gained from other industries during their open enrolment courses and experiential learning projects. These positive changes spread within their teams and work environment, and the participants are on their way to becoming great role models to younger talents. We foresee the benefits of the program will sustain for many years.

We value Sauder’s top research and academic excellence, collaborative and flexible approach, and great customer service from their faculty and staff. The Chinese-speaking supporting team makes great effort in understanding our needs (both at the headquarters and individual participant levels) and are always quick to respond. We highly recommend Sauder to any organizations that are looking for a world-class learning partner who can deliver creative and quality solutions."

"The teaching philosophy at the Sauder School of Business Executive Education is advanced. Its management team is professional and dedicated, and the faculty is not only strong in academic research, but also rigorous in teaching with rich practical experience."

"Bidding farewell to the daily work of complex management, we came to the picturesque Vancouver UBC (Sauder School of Business) for a short and intensive management training. The professors taught us advanced and original management knowledge vividly, and this occurred to me to think deeply and stirred in me with knowledge precipitation. We saw the rigorous, dedicated and innovative academic style in UBC, learned mature business operation & management thinking, gained sincere friendship between professors and students, and broadened our visions. This is a learning journey full of affection, passion and achievements."
